What makes the Xbox 360 BETTER than the ps3?

I have been playing games for almost 2 decades. I played both the Xbox 360 and the ps3, after my Xbox overheated 15 time. I counted. So I'm thinking of getting another Xbox, but I need some convincing before I do. What does the Xbox have that ps3 doesn't? What makes it better than the ps3? DON'T NOT SAY, " because it is". Please...

I'm not sure it is "better", but I do prefer my 360 over my PS3 in most cases. For me it comes down to the annoying downloads and installations you have to go through for every new game, or a game you haven't played in a while. Another thing for me is, I like live more than the PSN. You seem to be more of an xbox person, so am I, those are my reasons.

I have to agree with this, right down to preferring the Xbox 360 to the PS3.

My biggest gripes with the PS3 are it's dreadful user interface with that cumbersome CrossBeam design, and it's generally crappy User profile management. For instance, when my girlfriend, my son, and me play Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One together, it's stupid that we can't all be signed in under our own profiles and earn our own Trophies. I know, it seems like it's "cool" these days to act like Achievements/Trophies don't matter, but we all enjoy earning them and building up our own personal profiles. I love that stuff, and one of my favorite parts of the 3DS is it's massive cataloging of all sorts of information on my usage.

Finally, I've never found Sony's controllers to be comfortable--the PS3 controllers the worst of all with those wonky L2 and R2 buttons. I love the Xbox360 controller. I think it's the most comfortable since the GameCube--and that was a great controller to grasp.

I play on the Xbox more often, because everybody I play with owns it, instead of the Playstation 3. I own both, but I almost never touch the PS3 unless I buy or rent an exclusive. The online service is much better on Xbox: It's faster, better features, and cross-game party chat. With the new Xbox and hardware updates, the system doesn't over heat or red ring anymore, and it's pretty cheap to get a 4 Gb version if you don't download too many games.

Fan-art is a great thing! This was the last I worked on.

I prefer Xbox because its exclusive titles like Gears of War and Halo are more appealing to me than Sony's Uncharted, God of War, or their other exclusives. Plus, I just really like the Xbox's Dashboard and whole representation, and how it kind of reaches out to everyone of every age.

It's a hard qustion to answer and it comes down to personal prefrence. I'm on my third 360 due to the red ring of death issues but i hold no grudges, I enjoy xboxlive alot more than the PSN, It's more interactive and the menu design is alot more user friendly. For some reason my PS3 collects dust unless it's a PS3 exclusive title, eg. God of war, while my 360 gets thrashed. It's all upto you mate.

I personally prefer the Xbox360, it simply has a much better U.I. (even after the latest update), the controller is one of the nicest controllers ever, and from what people say live is better than PSN. Go for the 360.

IMO the XBox 360 has XBL. There are a lot of things about XBL that make it superior to PSN (although PSN is free). More than anything I think that is the reason to own a 360. There are games exclusive to one or the other system, but that really only furthers the argument that you should probably own both. I've been an XBox 360 owner for a while and I came to it via PS2 so I've never owned a PS3. At this point I'm too used to the setup, the system and the controller to go anywhere else, but it really comes down to which service you feel offers more. Of course, there's also that whole Blue-Ray thing.

I prefer the xbox because it has the party chat so me and my friends can chat and play our own games. On PS3 that is not possible. you always have to chat in game chat. On the 360 I can install the entire game which will take less wear and tare on the cd. And it prevents the 360 from the overheating issue. which is why Ive had my first and only 360 elite 120 GB gb. (before the newest elite) for 3 years. The PS3 wont allow you to install the entire disc. Which means the system will heat up more and the disc will wear out faster. The PS3 is great I love my PS3. But the only thing its missing is all the media streaming sources the 360 has. Like the radio apps, youtube, etc. The PS3 may have streaming service but I like the fact that i can sync my iHeart radio channel with my phone and 360. Next the ps3 will not allow you to play your own music during the games. I have music on my HDD on the 360 and I love listening to it all the time while i play racing games. And the PS3 wont do that. I also love the way I can stream my desktop music because thats a library of 22,000+ songs. I like the kinect. I cant say I love it because I have never owned one. I dont like the move. Which I use to own one., But I like how the kinect works. But I prefer a regular controller. I say get the 360 if you like all thos features if not then I say its not to worry about. Oh yeah, the XBOX Live Arcade dominate over the PSN minigames.
